Continental Gatorskin Folding Tyre

The Gatorskin is famous as a hard wearing, puncture protected tyre designed for fast riding and commuting. It’s probably the most popular road bike tyre in the UK (maybe Europe) with its cut-resistant Duraskin and Kevlar-reinforced layers. This tyre is ideal for training, commuting, winter riding and even sportives.

The smooth rolling tread which provides exceptional grip in both wet and dry conditions makes it a winter and all-year favourite. It’s well worth your while fitting Gatorskins for winter because of the minimal risk of puncturing and you having to be changing tubes in the bitter cold.

Duraskin protective shield

The Duraskin® external mesh forms a protective shield over the entire casing to help prevent cuts, punctures and abrasions. It’s a lightweight cut-resistant layer which gives the Gatorskin its distinctive brown sidewalls.

PolyX Breaker protection

This densely woven Polyester fibre provides some of the Gatorskin's puncture protection and stops debris penetrating beyond the tread.

Once known as the Ultra Gatorskin, before the new GatorHardshell was introduced, there are also wider options to add a little extra comfort to your ride. This folding bead Gatorskin is lighter than the rigid bead version.

Puncture resistant, roll ok, wear well.

I have used these for some years now on road bikes. Crossed Australia with a pair. They are adequately puncture resistant - not totally - and roll quite well. They wear well although I have had to replace them due to serious cuts before they have worn out. I'll continue to use them until something better appears.
